Beverly at How Sweet the Sound is hosting Pink Saturday. Please visit her for lots of pink inspirational posts!
Yesterday after taking my morning walk at the mall with my sister, I decided to make a quick trip to Dirt Cheap-a local salvage store. It is hard to make a 'quick' trip there....it is easy to spend half the day in there rummaging through their merchandise. Rarely do I leave empty handed and yesterday was no exception.
These garden tools were in a bin and were labeled $1.49 each. I don't know if you can tell by the picture, but they seem to be very sturdy and of good quality! They are stainless steel and have a label that states that profits go to breast cancer research. 
I knew the minute I saw them that I would have to have both of them and that they would be featured in my pink Saturday post.
As I was typing this post, I just had another idea. Since there were so many available and they are so inexpensive, I would like to give away a set of these garden tools to thank those of you who visit and take the time to leave comments.
So, just leave a comment on this post, and I'll post the winner on Monday. Even if you aren't a gardener, I bet you know someone who is and would love a set of these pink tools!
Hope everyone has a wonderful Pink Saturday.

How sweet! I've never seen them in pink! I sure could use them because my youngest son always steals mine to look for gold with his metal detector in the park! :-)

I love your new Cooper and Connor Valentine's header, Diane ... I remember that trip to the mall and the "train ride." The expressions on Cooper's sweet little face were priceless.
Those are the neatest pink garden tools and I'd love to win them for my little gardener Avery. Pink is her favorite color and she would love diggin' in the dirt with them.
I wish we had a good thrift store here. You always find the best stuff at yours!
Thanks, Diane! I would love a chance to win these tools. Mine are shot, and I need to do some planting!

Hi Diane
What a great idea for a Pink Saturday and also for a giveaway at the same time. Funny how with blogging our minds think in terms of colours and blogging ideas and digitals.

Diane
They are so sweet and I am not much of a dig in the dirt girl but I like to take such implements and put them it little pots of flowers as a decoration. They look so sweet like someone will be along shortly to dig in the dirt, not me, but some kind soul.

Diane,
I would so love to have a place like this near me. My mind gets so lost in these shops, it is like I am in a coma! Great deal on the tools! Tip: Clean your garden tools by wiping them down with a little motor oil, then dip them in a pail of sand. They come out like new and will last forever!!
xoxo
Jane

Hello Diane,
I just found your blog. I might have seen it before but I don't think I ever left a comment. I like your blog! Come visit me sometimes! I'm a Mississippi girl too. I'm about an hour from New Orleans.
Nice to meet you,
Lee Laurie
Hi Diane,
now you can garden in Pink fashion! They are just too sweet!
Deanna :)
Your new header is really nice!
Oh, we have a spot near by that is called RSO (for Reclaimed Salvage something)--I also enjoy "digging through their merchandise!
Those are some beautiful Pink garden tools--maybe if I win them, I would want to garden!
Have a good Pink Weekend. Dana
Good morning Diane. Thank you so much for your visit today and your comforting words. I appreciate it so much. I know I will be fine. Bill will post some info when he can.
I'll be back to see you as soon as I am able.
Blessings and love to you today...Jeanne
A gardener has to have her tools. I find that I grab for the old beat up tools in my arsenal more than the shiny new ones for some strange reason. I guess my hand gets used to it like a hand in glove.
Brenda
HOLY COW...girlie gardening tools....I just know they'd make my flowers grow that much prettier lol. What a fun giveaway!
Oh those pink garden tools would be a great addition to my garden tools.
This sounds like a wonderful place to browse & shop! I'm playing catch and Happy Belated PINK Saturday! ♥ Diane
Diane, Oh what adorable PINK garden tools.. I love them!
What a precious blog banner..... such adorable red head children!!!
Blessings ~Mary~ :-}
It is very thoughtful of you to ahve a drawing. My DIL got the nicest pink tool box full of pick tools for their wedding. A gal can't have too many tools!
What beautiful garden tools! A shame to get them dirty.
Nice to meet you, my first Pink Saturday.
